This service is run by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council, and has collected over 11,500 tonnes of garden waste from the kerbside so far this year.
For the 2024 service, residents will benefit from an additional collection, receiving 23 fortnigh
tly collections next year. This means the service, which costs £65.50 per bin, will start two weeks earlier than in previous years, running from 29 January to 13 December 2024.
Councillor Andy Hadley, Portfolio Holder for Climate Response, Environment and Energy said: “If you love gardening or just have a garden, then alongside home composting, this service is an invaluable one for recycling your green waste. It provides an environmentally friendly way of disposing of garden waste, reducing many car journeys to our recycling centres. The garden waste we collect goes full circle and is turned into a high-quality compost used in agriculture, horticulture and gardens, which helps with our climate and ecological goals. With an additional collection added on for next years’ service, it also represents improved value for money, so I encourage everyone to sign up for the 2024 service.”
To receive all 23 collections for the 2024 service, residents must register for the garden waste collection service by Friday 15 December 2023.
